Metisse-style mini
« on: April 11, 2009, 09:29:14 am »
I'm looking for info/pics on an early-70s mini that had - as I recall - styling somewhat like a Petite Metisse (square-ish rearguard, mk4-style).

It was featured in "Minicycle Magazine" in 71 or 72. As I recall the article featured 2 bikes/models & they had Hodaka/Fuji engines of 100/80cc. I think they had one piece seat-tank-rearguard, but it may have been a separate tank.

Can anyone shed any light? or better still have any pics they can email me?

TIA

In a VMX backissue there is a picture of a red metisse-styled minibike. It think was based on a Honda monkeybike, and I think it was somone who sold body-kits. Don't remember what issue it was, mabe the one who had a big minibike feature.
